The Avengers: Age of Ultron is one of the most anticipated sequels, let alone movies in recent years. Back at San Diego comic-con, it was announced that Ultron would be the villain and the teaser gave us the implication that Tony Stark would create Ultron and that the titular villain would be either a corrupted J.A.R.V.I.S or Vision would be an evolution of J.A.R.V.IS well, I'm here to tell you that Tony will not be the direct creator of our villain. Here's why: SPOILERS AHEAD for those who have yet to see The Winter Soldier (I spoiled it for myself but, ah well).
This will not be a long editorial so, bare with me. Does anybody remember the initial problem the characters faced in, Iron Man 2? Well, probably not because everybody thinks it's crap. I don't think so but, I'm not saying it's great either. The initial problem was that around the world, people were trying to build Iron Man like suits to replicate Tony's own Iron Man suits. See where I am going with this? Let me elaborate. This is where spoilers arise so, you've been forewarned.
What If... (see what I did there?) H.Y.D.R.A found a way to replicate Tony's work? They use it to build Ultron, an evil robot with sentient life that serves H.Y.D.R.A and it turns on them. It is seen as an evil Iron Man prototype. Ultron from there on out becomes the Ultron we all know and love. He has an evolution throughout the film where his look eventually becomes the comic look we all think of when we think of, Ultron. He builds drones, Vision and maybe if they go the Ultimates route, falls in love with Scarlet Witch. Why do I think this? It's quite simple really.
We get H.Y.D.R.A trying to rebuild and show it's ugly rear back into the world, builds Ultron and as Ultron usually goes: Turns on his "father", falls in love with a woman, builds Vision and the rest is history. You get his origin with a slight change and everything else that comes with Ultron. Sure, Joss as said it involves The Avengers personally. But, why does it have to be directly from them? Tony has a part in it without actually building him, Cap's long time enemies are the creators and everything else is based as a form of defense after the battle of New York and their capture of Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver.
Thoughts? Comment below and tell me what you think. Personally, I think I am onto something. Even if it's wrong.
